For a person, ME, who loves Haitian culture, and people, you would think I would have been dived into Haitian music but nope. And there really isn’t a reason why, I just never went seeking. Well until now, I started listening to Jovans Lorquet’s album, Oui. Which was released in April of 2023. Taken from ‘Voyage Mia’, Lorquet is known for singing zouk, kompa, and R&B, which his latest release is a blend of. Although he mostly sings in Haitian creole, the vibe, and the beats is something that can be understood in any language. My favorite song currently is ‘Dodomeya’
Take a moment, listen to his music, then come back and tell me what’s your favorite track.
Jonez.
